Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium boneless skinless chicken fillets, about 300 grams total
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup instant fried noodles, lightly crushed
- 4 soft burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- About 2 cups vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 175 degrees Celsius.
- Season the chicken fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
- Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with crushed instant noodles.
- Coat each chicken fillet in flour, dip into egg, then press into the breadcrumb and noodle mixture. Repeat dipping in egg and crumbs for a double coating.
- Fry the coated chicken fillets for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Internal temperature should reach 75 degrees Celsius.
- Remove the chicken and drain on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
- Lightly toast the burger buns.
- Spread mayonnaise on both sides of each bun, add a lettuce leaf, place the crispy chicken on top, and close with the bun.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan while frying to keep the oil temperature stable.
- Drain the chicken on a wire rack instead of paper towels to prevent sogginess.
- Crush the noodles lightly so they add crunch without turning into powder.
- For extra spice, add chili powder to the flour mixture.
